Have you swapped your MSI 7950?

Gregster, I fully agree with you, but due to the current exchange rate and delivery fee it's much more expensive for me to buy at OCUK :(

I have trust messaged ScottiB and hope he can provide assistance for me as well. I have already contacted MSI techsupport a few days ago and they also replied it's normal behavior. And as such, I can't RMA.

Ahh fair point. I would change the thermal compound bud and ScottiB will let you know the warranty situation :)

The right to return the product apparantly only applies if the product is returned in an unused state, which I already suspected. :(

This is absolutely not true for items purchased online. I understand you bought the product from them online, therefore the Distance Selling Regulations will apply. Your only obligation in this respect is only to take reasonable care of the goods - see Office of Fair Trading guidance here: http://www.oft.gov.uk/shared_oft/di...or-customers/DSforcustomers_rightsbuying1.pdf

You can see the legislation itself here if you are interested: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2000/2334/pdfs/uksi_20002334_en.pdf
 
Are these cards safe to order now e.g. Is this problem now fixed and do ocuk now have a new batch of non faulty cards?(I already had two out of the faulty batch which I had to return due to noise/heat/artificing)
Or is it still a stay away and get either a wf or iceQ card?

Even what MSI says not fault is like a refrence card temps...
I would go for gigabyte or his.

IMO His iceq £= Performance ratio best :D

Nope I dont work for any manufactures...
HIS and Gigabyte are good cards, gigabyte is a worse clocker in vram and his has 7970 pcb which is a good thing.
Both are great cards go for the cheaper card.

ScottiB, I know you suppose to say that MSI is best and that your 7950 is best overclocker but seriously it is a lie when it says on the package that its 17c cooler and quieter when its not...I mean the none faulty cards. The temps are same as on 7950 refrence card...
